TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates generally to gas turbine engines and, more particularly, to a cooling arrangement for a containment case of a turbine section.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
[0002] Typically, a plurality external pipes are used to individually bring coolant to each turbine stage of a gas turbine engine. Each turbine stage is generally fed by an appropriate number of circumferentially spaced apart external pipes. Such an arrangement of multiple external pipes around the engine housing not only increases part count but also increase the risk of cooling air leakage. Also, since the containment case surrounding the turbine blades is not cooled on the outside, the case must be made thicker to withstand the high temperatures to which the turbine sections are exposed during engine operation. This results in additional weight.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic view of gas turbine engine 10 of a turboshaft type suitable for driving rotatable loads, such as a main helicopter rotor. The engine 10 comprises an output shaft 12, a compressor section 14 for pressurizing the air, a combustor 16 in which the compressed air is mixed with fuel and ignited for generating an annular stream of hot combustion gases, and a turbine section 18 for extracting energy from the combustion gases.
[0012] Referring to Figs 1 and 2, it can be appreciated that the compressor section 14 comprises a low pressure (LP) compressor 14a including a given number of stages ( 3 in the illustrated example) and a high pressure (HP) compressor 14b (an impeller in the illustrated example). The turbine section 18 comprises an HP turbine 20B, a compressor turbine 20A and a power turbine 22. In the exemplified embodiment, the power turbine 22 includes 3 stages.
[0013] The HP turbine 20B is drivingly connected to the HP compressor 14B via an HP
shaft 21B. The HP turbine 20B, the HP compressor 14B and the HP shaft 21B form an HP spool rotatable about the engine axis 29.
shaft 21B. The HP turbine 20B, the HP compressor 14B and the HP shaft 21B form an HP spool rotatable about the engine axis 29.
[0014] The compressor turbine 20A is drivingly connected to the LP compressor via a compressor drive shaft 21A. The LP compressor 14A, the compressor turbine 20A
and the compressor drive shaft 21A forms a second spool rotatable about axis independently of the HP spool.
and the compressor drive shaft 21A forms a second spool rotatable about axis independently of the HP spool.
[0015] The power turbine 22 is drivingly connected to a power turbine shaft 21C which is, in turn, drivingly connected to the output shaft 12 via a reduction gear box (RGB) 23 (Fig. 1). The power turbine shaft 400 extends concentrically within the compressor drive shaft 21B and the HP shaft 21B and is independently rotatable with respect thereto.
[0016] As best shown in Fig. 3, each power turbine stage Si, S2, S3 comprises a stator and a rotor respectively including a set of circumferentially spaced-apart vanes V1, V2, V3 and a set of circumferentially spaced-apart blades B1, B2, B3.
Understandably, the power turbine 22 may comprise more or less than three stages without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
Understandably, the power turbine 22 may comprise more or less than three stages without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
[0017] The power turbine stages Si, S2 and S3 are surrounded by a containment case 100 mounted between a gas generator case 104 and an exhaust case 102 projecting downstream from the containment case 100 relative to a flow of gasses through the engine. The containment case 100 comprises a structural outer case 108 having mounting flanges 108A and 108B at axially opposed ends thereof. The flange 108A at the downstream end of the structural outer case 108 is structurally connected to a corresponding mounting flange 102E of the exhaust case 102. The flange 108B at the upstream end of the structural outer case 108 is structurally connected to a corresponding flange 104A at the downstream end of the gas generator case 104.
In one embodiment, the flanges 108A and 108B are respectively attached to corresponding flanges of the exhaust case 102 and the gas generator case 104 by means of bolts 120. Other suitable means may be used in place of the bolts.
The outer case 108 forms a load path between the gas generator case 104 and the exhaust case 102. In operation, the outer case 108 supports axial and radial loads
In one embodiment, the flanges 108A and 108B are respectively attached to corresponding flanges of the exhaust case 102 and the gas generator case 104 by means of bolts 120. Other suitable means may be used in place of the bolts.
The outer case 108 forms a load path between the gas generator case 104 and the exhaust case 102. In operation, the outer case 108 supports axial and radial loads
[0018] As shown in Fig. 2, the exhaust case 102 comprises an inner bearing support 102A structurally connected to an outer ring 102C by a plurality of radially extending structural struts 102b. The inner bearing support 102A supports a bearing 101 which, in turn, provides support to a downstream end of the power turbine shaft 21C.
In operation, loads are transferred from the shaft 21C to the bearing support 102A and to the outer ring 1020 through the struts 102. These loads are then transferred to the outer case 108 to which the outer ring 102c is mounted. The loads includes radial and axial loads. The outer case 108 must be able to withstand those loads. The structural outer case 108 is configured to be a load path for transferring loads between the gas generator case 104 and the exhaust case 102.

The structural outer case 108 is configured to be a load path for transferring loads between the gas generator case 104 and the exhaust case 102.
[0019] The containment case 100 further comprises a containment ring 110 coaxially mounted within the structural outer case 108. The containment ring 110 is configured to surround the plurality of axially spaced-apart turbine stages, Si, S2, and S3 of the power turbine 22. The containment ring 110 is adapted to contain failed blades or blade fragments so that in the unlikely event of a rotating part of the turbine becomes detached, it will be prevented from passing through the engine casing.
[0020] In one embodiment, the containment ring 110 comprises two sections, an upstream section 110A and an downstream section 110B for compact and low weight architecture. However, it is understood that the containment ring 110 could be of unitary construction.
[0021] Referring concurrently to Figs. 3 and 4, a radially inner surface of the containment ring 110 defines a plurality of shroud receiving portions 1100.
The shroud receiving portions 1100 can, for instance, take the form of hooks for engagement with corresponding hooks projecting from the radially outer shroud 114 of the vanes V1, V2, and V3. The shroud receiving portions 110C may also be used to position blade shrouds 115 in relation to the tip of the power turbine blades B1, B2, B3. In one embodiment, the blade shrouds 115 comprises abradable surface 115A to minimize tip leakage of the blades B1, B2, and B3. The blade shrouds can be provided as an axial extension of the shroud of the upstream vane as exemplified in connection with the third power turbine stage S3 in Fig. 3.

In one embodiment, the blade shrouds 115 comprises abradable surface 115A to minimize tip leakage of the blades B1, B2, and B3. The blade shrouds can be provided as an axial extension of the shroud of the upstream vane as exemplified in connection with the third power turbine stage S3 in Fig. 3.
[0022] The containment case 100 further defines an annular plenum 112 between the structural outer case 108 and the containment ring 110. The annular plenum 112 has an inlet 112A defined radially inwardly of flange 108B to receive air from a manifold 109 defined in the gas generator case 104 and connected to a pipe 44. In one embodiment, the coolant is provided from a plenum fed with compressed by the HP 14b.
Alternatively, the compressed air could be taken from one of the stages of the low-pressure compressor 14A. The pressurized air is routed to the annular plenum 112 via pipe 44. The bleed air from the compressor is selected to be at a pressure higher than a pressure in the gaspath of the power turbine 22 to provide sealing all around the power turbine gaspath.

The bleed air from the compressor is selected to be at a pressure higher than a pressure in the gaspath of the power turbine 22 to provide sealing all around the power turbine gaspath.
[0023] The containment ring 110 also defines outlets 110D, in the form of holes circumferentially and axially distributed and defined through the containment ring 110.
The hole pattern is selected to obtain the desired flow distribution across the turbine stages Si, S2, S3 that is along a length of the containment ring. The outlets provide flow communication between the annular plenum 112 and the plurality of axially spaced-apart turbine stages Si, S2, and S3. More specifically, the outlets distribute air along a plurality of axially spaced-apart chambers Cl, C2, C3, and C4 defined between the containment ring 110 and shrouds 114, which are configured for supporting the shrouded vanes V1, V2, and V3. In another embodiment, it may be possible to orient the outlets 110D as to provide impingement cooling toward certain critical portions of the shrouds 114, 115.

In another embodiment, it may be possible to orient the outlets 110D as to provide impingement cooling toward certain critical portions of the shrouds 114, 115.
[0024] In one embodiment, a thermal blanket 106 may be provided around a circumferential outer surface of the structural outer case 108. The thermal blanket is used to ensure that the surface temperature around the power turbine section remains below the maximum outer casing temperatures allowed by airworthiness regulations.
[0025] In use, the compressor bleed air directed into the plenum 112 via inlet cools down the containment ring 110 as it flows axially thereabout. A portion of the compressor bleed air is discharged from the plenum 112 at each turbine stage Si, S2, S3 according to a predetermined ratio defined by the holes 1100 provided along the containment ring 110. The compressor bleed air is then used to cool down and pressurize the chambers C1, C2, C3, and C4 to avoid hot gas ingestion therein (i.e. to seal the chamber against gas path leakage).
[0026] In one embodiment shown in Fig. 4, axial withdrawal of the upstream section 110A of the containment ring 110 from the outer case 108 is blocked by a retaining ring 116 removably installed in a circumferential groove defined in the inner surface of the outer case 108. A referencing shoulder 117a on the part 110A is configured to axially abut against a corresponding referencing shoulder 117b to axially position the upstream section 110A relative to the outer case 108. Also, a dog and slot arrangement is provided between the containment ring 110 and the outer case 108 to circumferentially and axially position the containment ring relative to the outer case while allowing relative thermal growth to occur therebetween. The dog and slot arrangement may comprise lugs 108C projecting radially inwardly from the structural outer case 108 for engagement with slots 110F defined in the radially outer surface of upstream section 110A. The slots 110F and lugs 108C are circumferentially distributed. The upstream part 110A of the containment ring may be axially inserted from the downstream end inserted of the outer case 108 and rotated to lock the lugs 108C in the slots 110F in a bayonet like fashion. The upstream end of the upstream section 110A may also include a radially inwardly facing slot 111 for engagement with a lug 113 extending radially outwardly from vane V1, as shown in Fig. 4.
[0027] The downstream section 110B of the containment ring 110 may be bolted or otherwise suitably structurally connected to the outer case 108. In the illustrated embodiment, the downstream section 110B has a radially outwardly extending flange 110C sandwiched between the outer case flange 108A and flange 102E of exhaust case 102.
[0028] Spring-loaded sealing members 118 (e.g. W-shaped seal) are used between the upstream and downstream sections 110A, 110B of the containment ring 110 and between the containment ring 110 and the gas generator case 104. The sealing members 118 allows radial and axial thermal induced expansion of the containment ring 110 while limiting coolant leakage between the gas path and the plenum 112.
[0029] By so cooling the containment ring 110 and the outer case 108 with an annulus of pressurized cooling air therebetween, they can be made thinner which may result in significant weight savings. Also, it contributes to improve blade tip clearance, since the containment ring 110 is less subject to thermal growth. Furthermore, when the containment ring 110 is used to support and radially locate the vane V1, V2, V3 and shrouds 114 and 115, it improves the gas path as again the containment ring 110 and, thus, the shrouds 114 and 115 are less subject to thermal growth. It also results in less part in that there is no longer a need for different set of external pipes to bring cooling air to each turbine stages. The air is more uniformly distributed by the plenum 112 along the full axial length of the containment ring 108.
[0030] A method for reducing thermal induced stress on a case assembly 100 surrounding a plurality of turbine stages Si, S2, S3 of a gas turbine engine 10 is also disclosed. The method comprises: defining an annular plenum 112 within the case assembly 100. The case assembly 100 comprises an outer case 108 structurally connected to a gas generator case 104 and to an exhaust case 102. The annular plenum 112 is defined between the outer case 108 and a containment ring 110 surrounding the turbine stages.
[0031] The method further comprises allowing radial and axial thermal expansion of the containment ring 110 relative to the outer case 108 and relative to the plurality of turbine stages Si, S2, S3. This may be carried using lugs 108C inwardly protruding from the structural outer case 108 and configured to engage slots 110F defined in the containment ring 110. Retaining members, such as circlips 116 may also be used to axially retain the containment ring 110 within the outer case 108.
[0032] Also, the method comprises fluidly connecting the plurality of turbine stages Si, S2, S3 with a source of pressurized coolant circulating through the annular plenum 112.
In one embodiment, the coolant is pressurized air extracted from the low-pressure compressor 14A. The method may thus further comprise bleeding compressor air and routing the bleeded air through a pipe 44.
In one embodiment, the coolant is pressurized air extracted from the low-pressure compressor 14A. The method may thus further comprise bleeding compressor air and routing the bleeded air through a pipe 44.
